If you're like me, you live and die by your electronic calendar. I've got one calendar for my personal stuff, one for my work stuff, one for my daughter's school, and so on. Wouldn't it be nice if you could get all the faculty development opportunities from CAT+FD in your calendar too?
Well, you can. Keep in mind, this isn't the same as actually registering for any event, but it's pretty handy. All our CAT+FD events are stored in LibCal. (Many thanks to Xavier Library for sharing LibCal access.) So just head on over there and look for the iCal icon.
Don't be fooled, this isn't just for iCal users. It will work for Outlook, Google, and just about any app that supports the iCal format. Click the icon to reveal the super-secret link, but don't follow that link — just copy it. Then paste it into the appropriate field of your preferred calendar app.
For example, in Outlook, choose "Add calendar > Subscribe from web" to get there.
That should import all CAT+FD events into a discrete calendar that you can toggle on and off, to show or hide as you see fit. And the best part is, the calendar is updated automatically to reflect any changes.
Again, you haven't signed up for any of these events. If you want to attend, just visit our website to register. That's essential — and it's the only way to get the Zoom link for our hybrid events.
Not ready to go the calendar route? You might want to check out the portal. That's right, the good old Xavier portal at my.xula.edu now has CAT+FD event listings. They might be on your dashboard already, or hit the Events & Calendars tab. You can customize your view to show the calendars that are most relevant for you.
Finally, I'd be remiss if I failed to mention our CAT+FD events newsletter. Don't forget to subscribe in order to receive updates in your inbox, approximately once per week.
